that one of the prime objectives this spring is to find a quarterback.
"You can't have a good football team without a good quarterback," Rodgers said. The Jayhawk mentor, who has developed a nationally recognized reputation for developing great quarterbacks, further added that a good quarterback can make a good team or a bad quarterback can make a bad team.
"However," Rodgers quickly added, "you have to concentrate on having a complete team."
